How do I set different color schemes with multiuple vscode windows open

Question

I have two windows open for debugging. One is for my service and the other is for my workbench. They are two different repos so I want them on two different instances of VSCode. I also want to have them be different color schemes. When I change the color scheme in one instance it applies to the other. Is there a way around this? Is there a way to have multiple windows be different color schemes in vscode?

Answer 1

You can configure the different title-bar color using .vscode/settings.json. (For configuring different color themes, I don't know yet.)

{
  "workbench.colorCustomizations": {
    "activityBar.background": "#5D0D15",
    "titleBar.activeBackground": "#82131D",
    "titleBar.activeForeground": "#FEFBFB"
  }
}

But, you can easily use the plugin called Window Colors which automatically generate .vscode/settings.json based-on the directory name like hash.

Actually I hope that the color will be better, but nowadays it can be very handy solution.
